Exactly what I said. CU fans were more excited for the "spurning" of WSU than for getting the kid themselves.
So it's more about the rivalry and less about the actual player?
Creighton has recruited six kids for the 2011 class since McDermott and Lutz came to Omaha and they got four of them. Chatman was their top PG prospect and they took him from a team who had maybe taken him for granted (if you look at this thread, at least) and assumed he was going to Wichita after recruiting him for two years. Austin is going to be awesome in Bluejay gear.
Plus, can it be a rivalry if only one team thinks it is (Perrault notwithstanding)?
